Magnificent views all the way up (Grandes Rousses) and at the summit (Aiguilles d'Arve, Meije). At the end of September, the route was very lightly used.

Magnifique vues tout au long de l'ascension (Grandes Rousses) et au sommet (Aiguilles d'Arve, Meije). Fin septembre, la route était très peu fréquentée.
Piste carrossable, mais semble délicat pour un vélo de route compte tenu de l'état de la piste et de la pente soutenue.
